I was cautious when I first heard about the record and the previews didn't sell me on the premise at all, but listening to it, it's unmistakably a No-Man record and keeps most of the band's trademarks intact. The long compositions end up working in the band's favor and the result is a grandiose synthpop symphony with small hints of disco sprinkled over it. Recommended for fans of No-Man's earlier albums, such as Flowermouth or Loveblows and Lovecries.
Opeth In Cauda Venenum
After a decade of prog exploration, Opeth remembers they were a metal band and not a folksy prog tribute band. Much better produced than Sorceress and much more cohesive than anything they've made since Ghost Reveries, this album plays to Opeth's strengths without seeming like a step backwards and without sounding like a pale recreation of the past, as their past 3 albums did. It has that dark and sinister vibe which has been sorely missed from their music lately and thus becomes the best record from their prog rock era.

Steven Wilson The Future Bites
You can't accuse Steven Wilson of playing it safe with this album as this is very different from what he's been doing since forever, but most of the music in here feel like he's really not playing to his strengths at all. Still too weird to truly be pop, lacking in memorable hooks and song structures. The rare few times where you feel he's sticking to his old roots (12 Things I Forgot is a very blatant example of that), the music becomes so cliched and predictable without any real feeling or mood to it. Self and Eminent Sleaze fail because you can't condemn a hollow society while having your own music be equally hollow. That's akin to someone who's saying dumb things and when confronted about it later on, just go and claim "IT'S SATIRE MAN". Even without the words, the music itself isn't evocative of about anything. It feels like it's just... there. Out of the lot, I like King Ghost, Man of the People, Count of Unease and parts of Personal Shopper. But about everything else in there feel like I wanna skip it instantly.
